Detectives believe the victim, known as Ellie, fell from the bonnet of a silver-coloured Vauxhall Corsa being driven in the car park on Birmingham Road at around 10.30pm on December 26.

Three people, aged 18 and 19, have been arrested and bailed in connection with suspected offences of manslaughter and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

A family statement released by police said: “Eleanor Jane Underhill was such a bubbly, lively girl and the life and soul of everything. She truly lived life to the fullest. As a family we are totally devastated and really need to find out the truth of what happened that night.”

Sergeant Alan Wood, from West Midlands Police’s regional collision investigation unit, said: “There were a number of people in the car park at the time and I would urge anyone who has any information to come forward.

“In particular, I would like to hear from the occupants of a dark blue three-door VW Golf, which was in the car park playing loud music, plus the occupants of a small red Peugeot with a spoiler on the rear and red tinsel attached.”
